IIan Şor

Ilan Shor is the Chairman of the Şor Party in Moldova, a populist opposition party, and is suspected of being one of the main beneficiaries of the 2014 Moldovan Bank Fraud Scandal. Shor was accused of bribery to secure his position as chair of the Banca de Economii in 2014 and fled Moldova in 2019, two years after being convicted in a first-instance trial to several years in prison [1] [2]. Ilan Shor has also been targeted by U.S. sanctions for acts of collusion with Russia to control Moldova’s political scene, albeit not via its Magtnitsky regime [3].
